Howdy jlluvbri-ga,
If you are driving under 10 passengers, a regular Class "C" driver's
license is all you need.
The L.A. Times web site has a "Career Counselor" article on being a
"Limousine Driver" written by Susan W. Miller, M.A.
http://www.latimes.com/classified/jobs/counselor/2002/la-042802counselor-chauffeur,0,5708725.htmlstory
"A regular Class C California Drivers License is all that is needed for
drivers who drive fewer than ten passengers at a time."
Please note that a chauffeur is the same as a limousine driver.
The article goes on to cover those that want to drive more than 10.
"For those limousine drivers who drive ten passengers or more, require
a Class B License ...
The process involves a written, road, and eye test."
Please note that a Class "B" license is a commercial driver's license
(CDL) and you would need to get a Passenger ("P") endorsement as well.
The above is supported by the California based Embassy International
Limousine employment requirements.
